REMOVAL FROM WATCHLIST AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY $223 MILLION IN OUTSTANDING DEBT
New York, November 05, 2009 -- Moody's has confirmed the Aaa rating on the following 45 housing
finance agency multifamily transactions and removed them from Watchlist,
following a review of each transaction's ability to maintain cash
flow sufficiency assuming a 0% reinvestment rate. This action
affects approximately $222,954,000 in outstanding debt.
All of these transactions are secured by a mortgage that is guaranteed
by credit enhancement from either GNMA, Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac or FHA. None of these issues have a Guaranteed Investment Contract
(GICs) that assures a fixed rate of return on invested cash, and
therefore all are subject to interest rate risk on retained revenues.
As a result, revenue from the monthly mortgage receipts, interest
earned on those receipts from money market funds or other short-term
investments and monthly mortgage payments need to be sufficient to support
debt service on the bonds. Moody's analyzed each transaction's
projected mortgage revenue, assuming no reinvestment earnings on
the monthly mortgage receipts and determined that there would be sufficient
coverage of debt service consistent with a Aaa rating. For further
information on Moody's approach to the significance of interest rate risk
to ratings on housing transactions, see Moody's Rating Methodology
